Missed Dave Gruber making a monster rebound?
Looked away when Lance Hurdle used his spectacular vertical leaping ability to help pile on the points for Wollongong?
Well, Hawks fans are in for a treat on Sunday against Perth, when for the first time they can see action replays during the game.
WIN Entertainment Centre unveiled its new scoreboards yesterday, featuring big screens that will show highlights of the action.
The new screens, which have been installed at each end of the court, will replace the old scoreboard and will feature the score and team fouls, while individual points and fouls will be displayed on the screen.
"We've got great support, but it will certainly help them get into it to be able to see the big moments again," captain Oscar Forman said. "It's just another positive for what has been a winning start to the season - hopefully it only helps to keep the big crowds coming."
The screens will be supported by an improved sound system at the venue and can be moved along a newly installed rigging system for concerts and other upcoming events at the Wollongong venue.
Sunday's clash of the NBL's two unbeaten teams starts at 4pm.
