The Lakers are 7-6 when Kobe shoots under 40%

In contrast, we were 7-14 last season when Kobe shot under 40%. Impressive.

If Kobe's having an off night, we're still in games with a very good chance to win them.

Another example of how improved this team is. Also, the fact that Kobe's relying a little more on his teammates and putting alot of focus into his defense (which has been very good) also helps.
