Denver point guard Chauncey Billups, who has helped evaluate the Nuggets dramatically since being traded from Detroit, doesn't have any hard feelings against his old team.

"There are no hard feelings, none," Billups said. "I wasn't begging to be traded. And I've always said this: When I've heard rumors about me coming to Denver, of course my ears always perked up from my infatuation with being home.

"I'm not mad at (the Pistons) at all. I miss the guys on the team, and the city's been great to me, but I accomplished every single thing I could have accomplished in a Pistons jersey. So maybe it was time for a new challenge for me."

The Nuggets are 24-9 since acquiring Billups.
