2006 NBA playoffs controversy. The previous playoff format, in place for the 2004â05 and 2005â06 NBA playoffs, after the NBA was re-aligned into six divisions, created controversy during the 2005â06 season and playoffs, and would be changed prior to the 2006â07 NBA season.

Skin staples are used to close wounds after an accident or more commonly a surgery. The staples function the same way that an office stapler would and they are used for special applications as an alternative to stitching. Both sides of the wound are pulled together after the surgery and the staple passes through both sides and holds the wound together until it can heal. Skin staples can be used on either external or internal wounds.
