data-mm-id=”_wtx76ub46″>The Sopranos is officially of a time. While many people watched the legendary and contemporary television show, it bears little resemblance to modern times. There were no smart phones or social media. At this point it's basically a period drama. Yet it is still relevant, popular and beloved, just like Green Day's seminal album, Dookie, which we just learned that James Gandolfini freaking loved via Instagram comments from Michael Imperioli.

While Giannis didn't consider the season a failure and was heavily praised for saying so, it's still worth considering what losing to an 8-seed in the first round means for the team's future.
