HR3 - Hawks will truly be contenders when Trae Young can pass first not score first In hour three Mike Johnson and Abe Gordon let callers give out some Wake Up Calls. The guys also let callers give their take on whether or not they think the Haws can win a championship with Trae Young, and what weird food or food combination they like that nobody else probably likes. Mike and Abe continue hour three by spending some time with 92.9 The Game's own Atlanta Hawks insider and beat reporter Caleb Johnson! Mike, Abe, and Caleb discuss what Caleb would've predicted the score would have been if he would've known Cole Anthony was going to have 26 points off the bench, what Caleb thought about Trae Young's actions that got him ejected, the Hawks having to shoot better on Friday in their matchup against either the Miami Heat or the Chicago Bulls, who Caleb thinks the Hawks would matchup better with between the Bulls and the Heat, and if Trae needs to be more aggressive at the beginning of the game on Friday. Mike and Abe also continue to recap and react to the Atlanta Braves losing to the Toronto Blue Jays last night 6-3 due to Spencer Schwellenbach having his first bad start of the year. The guys also preview the Braves and Blue Jays' series finale set for this afternoon, talk about Spencer Strider making his return to the Braves since an April 2024 surgery to repair the ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow, and explain why Braves fans should expect Spencer Strider to be his same dominant self versus the Blue Jays today.
