The Cavs’ next playoff opponent is set. The only thing left to figure out is when the series starts. Top-seeded Cleveland will host the Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference semifinals. The best-of-seven could begin as soon as Saturday at Rocket Arena — although the official start date has not yet been announced.

Some didn't expect the Pacers still to be standing at this point — even with Milwaukee's All-Star guard Damian Lillard missing the first game as he continued to recover from one ailment before leaving Game 4 with a torn left Achilles tendon.
