it's not that complicated.

If you win half your games, you are an average team. You want to win more than half of your games to be an above-average team.

If you get half of the available points, you are a below-average team.

If you only care about points percentage, pick a points percentage that matters, around .575 or greater.

If you watch sports to see your team win, pick a win percentage that matters, which is .500 or greater.

A .500 points percentage is like a 1.0 GPA. It's a really low, and ultimately meaningless bar. Even you passed every course, it isn't enough.

A .500 win percentage is like a 2.0 GPA. It's still low, and you do want to be above that mark even if a 4.0 is an unrealistic target - but at least you're hanging in there.
