It was fun to watch Celtics basketball again. I thought the overall presentation of the game was great, and I didn't think it felt odd at all. I was a little surprised they didn't do more with different camera angles - as now they have no fans, they could have cameras everywhere without obstructing anyone. There were a few different camera angles, but not that many.
As was discussed a bit during the broadcast, the arena is now quieter. It would seem that communication between players and from the coaches to the players should be easier. But, maybe it's not a material difference.
On the basketball side, I was disappointed by how the Celtics were getting killed on the defensive boards. Playing great defense is useless if the other team gets an easy layup after you force a miss. As per usual, I was also disappointed to see Marcus Smart putting up shots when Tatum, Brown, and Hayward were all on the floor.
