NBA Obsessed takes you into the hit and run game of NBA Basketball.
Ever see a trade in the NBA that benefits both teams?
Hmm, Iverson for Billups!
Denver is better with Chauncey controlling the pace, reducing turnovers and making clutch shots and free throws.
Detroit finally has found the explosiveness to go along with their great defense and half court consistency.
This has moved Detroit up to slot 5 in the ESPN power rankings from slot 9.
We figure Detroit can live with its 3-3 start to the Iverson era after going to L.A. and knocking the Lakers from the ranks of the unbeaten. But check back after this week’s back-to-back games against Cleveland and Boston.

Denver has moved to slot 6 from last week’s slot 12.
Victory in Boston, a 5-1 start to the Billups era and now a move into the top 10, blemished only by a loss to the hottest team in the league at Cleveland? Sounds like the Nuggets are your U.S. Army Team of the Week.
stay tuned to see if these two teams can hold it together.
