Isaac's take on Cleveland Sports

The Final Four is finally set. After a long run of many, many games, we finally have our final four teams that each have a chance at the championship. There's two number one seeds, a number three seed, and a number seven seed. In this blog I'll be previewing each team. South Carolina South Carolina is a number seven seed, the "Cinderella story" of March Madness 2017. Most people actually expected them to lose in the first round to Marquette. In fact, on ESPN Tournament Challenge, 56% of people had South Carolina losing first round. Even if they won, which they did, most people expected them to lose to Duke by a lot. But they beat number two Duke, they beat number three Baylor and they beat number four Florida, and now find themselves in the Final Four facing Gonzaga. Issue:  Rebounding. South Carolina has the least amount of rebounds per game out of the Final Four, and is going up against a very tall and good at rebounding team in Gonzaga. South Carolina has no l...

MLB opening day: April 2nd. The day every baseball fan cannot wait for every single year. The day the baseball season starts. Every year, there's sleepers, teams who everyone knows will win and teams who everyone knows will do bad. Over the off season, there have been many big signings and trades that will certainly make some teams better and some teams worse. So this blog will be my MLB predictions for each team's record and division standings this year. I'll be listing my predictions and their actual record last year with the playoffs at the bottom. Let's start in the National League with the NL East. 1. New York Mets: Prediction - 93-69; Last Season - 87-75 2. Washington Nationals: Prediction - 90-72; Last Season - 95-67 3. Atlanta Braves: Prediction - 78-84; Last Season -  68-93 4. Philadelphia Phillies: Prediction - 75-87; Last Season - 71-91 5. Miami Marlins: Prediction - 73-89; Last Season - 79-82 Here's the thing with the Mets. They need to stay h...

Wow. I'm writing this blog on only day four of the NFL free agency, and already the Cleveland Browns have done things that I could have only dreamed about before today. They did something right! They signed a wide receiver (Kenny Britt), traded for a quarterback (Brock Osweiler and his $16 million dollar contract), resigned an offensive guard (Joel Bitonio), and signed another guard and a center (Kevin Zietler and JC Tretter respectfully). Granted, they did let Terrelle Pryor walk and go to the Washington Redskins, but as previously stated, Kenny Britt has been signed to take his place. The Browns also have eleven draft picks this year and eleven next year. So far, their strategy has been to stockpile draft picks, so they might get even more picks in the upcoming years. Anyways, I think that Britt, Zietler, and Tretter were all fantastic signings. Let's start with Britt. I think that Britt has the potential to replace Terrelle Pryor and become the Browns number one wide rec...

As of February 24, 2017, the Cleveland Cavaliers have 40 wins and 16 losses, and are in first place in the Eastern Conference. But there are some problems. Before the season almost everyone expected the Cavs to be in first place in the East by about seven or eight games. In reality, the Cavs only have a three-and-a-half game lead on the Boston Celtics, and this does raise some questions. The Cavs are averaging more points, rebounds, and assists than last year, but they're losing to some bad teams. So far this season, they've lost to the Sacramento Kings, Portland Trail Blazers, New Orleans Pelicans and Dallas Mavericks. All four of those teams have losing records, and frankly, the Cavs just shouldn't be losing to those kind of teams. If the Cavs don't get their defense back up to normal, they're just not going to do well if they make it back to the NBA Finals against the high-scoring Golden State Warriors. However, I am confident in the Cavaliers. I think they c...

Well, the Cleveland Indians sure have had a big offseason. The Indians signed perhaps the biggest free agent of the offseason in Edwin Encarnacion, a first baseman and designated hitter who previously played for the Toronto Blue Jays. Last season, Encarnacion hit an outstanding 42 home runs and led the American League with 127 runs batted in. Most people think Encarnacion will turn out to be a great signing and lead the Indians back to the playoffs. Edwin Encarnacion, the Indians new signing. Now, I'm going to make some predictions for the Indians upcoming 2017-2018 season. To start, I think that they're going to have another great season and definitely make the playoffs, and maybe go all the way back to the World Series for another chance to win the big whammy. And here's why: Reason number one: The Pitching. The Indians had one of the best pitching rotations in baseball last year, made up of Corey Kluber, Carlos Carrasco, Danny Salazar and Trevor Bauer. Kluber, ni...

Let's think back to before the NBA season started. The Cleveland Cavaliers were (and still are) the reigning NBA champions and the Golden State Warriors had signed Kevin Durant to add to their already amazing team. So naturally, almost everyone expected the 2017 NBA Finals to be a rematch for a third straight year, Cavs vs. Warriors. But since then, the Cavs haven't been playing as well as everyone thought they would. Now, almost at the all-star break, the Cavs only have a two-and-a-half game lead on the Boston Celtics for the number one spot in the Eastern conference. So the question becomes: "Are the Cavs ready for the Warriors?" Many pundits think no, if they haven't been able to beat teams such as the Sacramento Kings, who are not a very good team, in Cleveland, there is not a chance in France of them beating the Warriors in the Finals. But on the other side, there are experts that say yes, the Cavs are ready for the Warriors because they will play better ...
