Soup opera: Cavs' Smith mum on kind of soup thrown at coach

INDEPENDENCE, Ohio — J.R. Smith's soup choice remains unknown, and so do the ingredients that steamed him so much he threw a bowl of soup at assistant coach Damon Jones.

Smith was suspended one game by the Cavaliers, and Saturday the temperamental guard addressed the latest drama in what has been a tumultuous season for the three-time defending Eastern Conference champions.

Asked what he could share about the soup spat, Smith was as cold as gazpacho.

"Nothing," he said.

And as for the kind of soup he flung?

"Honestly," he said Saturday following the team's shootaround.
