His advantage for his size is his Hops.

I thought Dwight was the Diesel reincarnated, superman part 2, at least strong enough to back Perkins down :-0

My only comment is that, in my analysis at 3QC, the thing I want to see more of (I've been preaching this ad nauseam) in Game 7 is Dwight Howard moving around on offense - pick & rolls, etc. That's the best way to combat Perkins' strength, by using Howard's athleticism and speed to his advantage. There's no doubt Boston has done a good job of defending the PnR, but it's still more effective than posting up Dwight strictly on the low block.
