One month. Thats all the time we have left until the NBA Playoffs begin. Teams are trying to do everything they can to prepare themselves for a chance to be one of those eight teams with a shot at the NBA Finals. The New York Knicks are one of those teams making a late season push having won their past six games in addition to bringing in the legendary Zen Master Phil Jackson to run the organization. The Knicks are on a roll but have a monumental task ahead of them when the very talented Indiana Pacers come to the Garden on Wednesday night, making our list of the Top 5 NBA tickets of the week.
