"Really just one of all the all-time great teams is keeping us from winning," Rockets general manager Daryl Morey told Fox Sports' Colin Cowherd on Wednesday.

Ah yes. Chris Paul injured his hamstring late in the Rockets' Game 5 victory in 2018, and was unable to suit up for Games 6 and 7.
Losing CP3 was a massive blow to Houston, who led the series three-games-to-two at the time of the injury. No doubt about it.

But if we're going to play that game, then it has to be mentioned that the Warriors lost Andre Iguodala for the rest of the series after he sustained a "spider fracture" in his left leg during the fourth quarter of the Warriors' blowout win in Game 3.
As coach Steve Kerr later told Marc Spears of The Undefeated: “We would have won the series in five if Iggy played.”
And as Iguodala told USA Today Sports' Mark Medina (who was with the Bay Area News Group at the time) in September 2018: "It would’ve been short. 4-1. They didn’t win. We won."

So yes, Morey definitely is correct when he says that one of the greatest teams ever has gotten in the Rockets' way.
