I thought the skycams really gave the game a "you are there" feel. It gave a much better reflection of the speed those guys are moving.
Unfortunately, they need to work a bit on the reliability of those cameras before they're ready to work as the sole cameras for a primetime broadcast. Early in the game one of the cameras froze and they didn't switch back to that camera until (I think) the beginning of the second quarter. It was much better when they could switch between the cameras rather than just watching one camera in the corner of the court pan back and forth.
