Go figure

I've read this on a basketball forum on the internet:

"f.ing bucks, you beat GS on the road and choke it at home to a team that loses 60% of their road games go figure"

Can you please tell me what "go figure" means in this case?

geoyo Can you please tell me what "go figure" means in this case? It means the same as in any case. It is merely mispunctuated: it is a separate sentence.

'Go figure' is an interjection which roughly means 'That seems illogical' or 'Why in the world would they say/do that?!'

Can it mean "who is supposed to understand that"? In the sense of, the previous fact is so illogical that no person would ever understand it.

Yes, that could be so, too. The grammatical extension of the phrase is "Go and try to figure out why/how...."
