I was happy when he fell for sure. Obviously I don't wish for him to have some kind of serious injury, but I'm just fine with him not playing in this series any longer. It increases the chances of a title significantly. Similarly, while I would have loved to have beaten the Patriots straight up, I also would have been happy if Brady twisted his knee on a sack during the AFC championship game I went to last winter too. Injuries/durability/health are a part of the sport and maybe the most important part. I also truly believe that immediate reaction would have been the same in any other building in any sport in similar circumstances. That's just called being a fan and being that invested in winning.
I will say that that the whole thing has been overblown a bit, though. The arena quieted quickly when the severity of the injury became obvious and he even got chants on the way out. Pretty good distraction for the Raptors who now don't have the entire media talking about how they choked away the best opportunity they may get for a championship.
