DENVER -- It's just the start of the season, but a potential grind already for the Kings, who Saturday night began a stretch of six games in eight days, spread out over six cities and three time zones.


It comes after they just had three consecutive days off, which helps, and at a time when no one should be tired. On the other hand, it comes with the challenge of three back-to-back sets, the first of which concludes tonight against the San Antonio Spurs at Arco Arena.
