John Wooden's teams won 88 games in a row and 7 national championships in a row. The next season had Bill Walton at center and was expected to continue the streaks. Wooden says that team was frustrating because he couldn't get out of them what they were capable of and they lost both streaks.
This team just doesn't seem to have "it" and Rose has alluded to that. They don't play together. We see flashes and crashes. I think that shows a lack of leadership.
