That crap was not borderline.

I completely agree. But that's the mindset of the officials during the playoffs that allow for such misjudgments in those games. The officials are determined not to have their name attached to a bad call that has a profound affect on the outcome of a game... and in the process of doing that their name gets attached to a bad NO-call that has a profound affect on the outcome of a game.

The fact is that some (smart) players pick up on the attitude of playoff officials and thus tend to get away with more than they ordinarily would, which then makes their performance in the playoffs look extraordinary!
