J.R. Smith doubles down on deleted 'Cavs in 7' tweet
Whether Cleveland Cavaliers shooting guard J.R. Smith's Twitter account was actually hacked post-Game 3 is a question likely to go unanswered for quite some time. But the now-deleted tweet - which read "Cavs in 7" - is a statement Smith believes in, whether he tweeted it or not.

"I could see myself saying that for sure," said Smith.
"Oh yeah, we coming back. I wouldn't be me if I didn't think that," the veteran sharpshooter said Thursday.
JR says he was in the shower when the tweet was sent from his account. But he believes it.

Smith scored 16 points with five 3-pointers in Game 3 and will need to be at his absolute best if the Cavaliers intend to win four straight.
