The NBA regular season has hit the quarter pole. Almost every team is at 20 or 21 games played, which means the time for saying "it's early" is drawing short.

Tanking has always been a word thrown around among NBA fans on social media, there have been books written about the tanking strategy, and the NBA has even stepped in and flatted NBA Draft lottery odds and added a play-in tournament to attempt to prevent teams from "tanking."
