J.R. Smith went right for his phone after the Cleveland Cavaliers lost a heartbreaker in Game 3 to the Golden State Warriors.
Despite trailing 3-0 in the Finals, Smith isn't quite ready to give up. He tweeted his prediction of the Cavaliers winning in seven games, only to delete it within 15 minutes.
Here's a screencap:

Hey, the Warriors blew a 3-1 lead last year so it's not entirely out of the question that the Cavaliers have one more comeback left in them. But with Kevin Durant now on the Warriors, Smith's bold prediction amounts to little more than bravado.
