While true, I think the more relevant standard is that you should expect your team to make the second round every 4 years, conference finals every 8 years and cup finals every 16 years.

All that is also winning. I would even argue it's the more significant winning, that expected regular stream of smaller successes.

I don't need to recount how far behind we are from those averages.
