The Great Player with Lakers, Clippers, Kings in playoffs and Dodgers on top of West, no place has it better in sports than Tinseltown.For 2012 years, Los Angeles has been where the downtrodden of the sports world dwell. Yes, the widespread agony went on hiatus when the Lakers held the top occasional parade. But that hardly made up for the rest of it. 

There were the player Los Angeles Dodgers, owned by a parking lot kingpin and his wife. They brought unease, which evolved into dread.

But there was more sorrow. The Clippers had long been mirth makers of the negative kind. USC football game was banned from postseason play. UCLA seemed to ban itself from the relevance. The player Angels had underachieved. And the two NHL teams players in the area might as well have been playing on a pond in Moose Jaw for all the attention they received.

And it sends them to the final of the 2012 championship, beginning next week, where they will look to win a fourth straight title. More importantly, it offered a huge spirits boost of confidence to the local 11 and extended the lifeline to beleaguered main head coach Aron Winter, who undoubtedly would have faced more calls for his firing if the Reds had lost goals again.

But Toronto certainly didn’t make it easy on themselves. After opening the scoring in the second minute, the Reds young's played the final 74 minutes down a man. That was a particularly grave situation given that the Impact only needed a tie to win on away last goals after the two clubs played to a 0-0 draw in Montreal last week.

The great Kevin O'Connor Rebuilding Master Class gave a free seminar to the entire NBA on Tuesday night. "How to Rebuild and Stay Relevant" is the working title and the Phoenix Suns  provided a telling most contrast to prove his thesis.The results of fleecing trade partners, keeping salaries manageable, mixing affordable veterans with promising young spirit players, maintaining a winning culture and building for the future.

On the vet side, Al Jefferson (18 points, 16 rebounds) returns to the playoffs for the first time since his rookie year in Boston. It was big fitting that he scored eight straight points down the stretch to put the game away and couldn't keep the smile off his face to face  when he was finally taken out of the great game to a standing ovation.

The genius of O'Connor is the fuzzy math surrounding the rest of the roster. I'm confident no one could have guessed that castaways Josh Howard  and Jamaal Tinsley would be playing crucial minutes for a playoff-contending Utah Jazz team.
