Knicks" Shumpert, Kidd, Martin - 61 Minutes and 0 Points - NYTimes.com INDIANAPOLIS - The defining number for the Knicks in Game 4 - and perhaps the series at large - was zero, the astounding absence of any offensive production from three of their key supporting role players: Iman Shumpert, Jason Kidd and Kenyon Martin. None of the players scored a point in 61 combined minutes, empty bagels on the score sheet. They missed 11 field-goal attempts. They did not take a single free throw. As the mystery of the Knicks" missing offense advanced into its second week, Tuesday's 93-82 loss turned into another two-man show simply because almost nobody besides Carmelo Anthony or Raymond Felton could hit a shot. Beyond Anthony and Felton, who combined for 38 points on 16-of-39 shooting, the rest of the team shot 15 of 48, 31 percent. J. R. Smith tried to shoot his way out of his pronounced slump, finishing with 19 points on 7-for-22 shooting. Until late in the game, while Indiana had nine players hit at least one field goal, the Knicks had only four. Martin, who started for the first time this postseason, finished with as many personal fouls (three) as field-goal attempts. Shumpert went 0 for 5 from 3-point range. Kidd has not scored since Game 2 of the Boston series, on April 23, a remarkable drought that has spanned 161 minutes. He is 0 for 16 from the field. In eight playoff games since that Game 2, Kidd has attempted more than two field goals three times. "I'm not a guy who's going to score," Kidd said. If the ball doesn't go in, that doesn't dictate my game. It's always been trying to find the open guy and make a play for my teammates, and when there's a shot presented, take it. Kidd averaged nearly 8 points per game in the first half of the season, emerging as a reliable 3-point threat and a solid third or fourth scoring option when Felton or Smith struggled. But he has seemed to lose all intention of shooting, and even those opportunities begging him to score have had a way of missing, like the fast-break layup he botched midway through the second quarter. "For some odd reason," Kidd said, "the ball isn't going in for me right now." Kidd's lack of scoring is one thing, but the Knicks had been relying on Shumpert to provide some explosiveness and Martin to provide some interior offense. Combined, Shumpert and Martin averaged 21.3 points in the first three games of the series. Shumpert's appearance was a game-time decision after he injured his knee during the second half of Game 3. A magnetic resonance imaging test revealed no structural damage. But after missing both days of practice before Game 4, he said his rhythm was off. "I wish I could've got shots up the two days in between the game, but taking time off to get my knee some rest affected that," Shumpert said. We just didn't shoot the ball well. Shumpert missed his first four shots, coming out aggressively in the first quarter, but then seemed to grow tentative. Coach Mike Woodson left him on the bench for most of the second half, although Shumpert said his knee felt fine. "I don't feel pressure on myself," Shumpert said, when asked if he needs to do more to pick up the offensive load. No one guy has to come through with something extra. We've just got to win. But with zeros offensively from three of their key contributors, the Knicks have dug themselves an awfully deep hole.
