The Boston Celtics are the oldest team in the East bracket of the 2011 NBA Playoffs, and as such could use regular rest as the second season moves along, especially if the defending conference champs have designs on a repeat trip to the NBA Finals. They'll get it, as their first round series against the New York Knicks doesn't begin until Sunday and includes just two games in the first six days of the postseason.
