I wonder if it is related to the fact that Kobe's shot attempts and points scored are up as well over the same period. Either Kobe is taking on more because the bigs are less effective, or the the bigs aren't getting the ball and a chance to be effective because Kobe and the guards are hogging the ball a bit more. Whether it is the chicken or the egg that came first, it would be REALLY nice to see Bynum give up his "home run trot" when going end to end and show more effort.
