Only in the last preseason game will you see starters typically play longer that 1 - 1 1/2 qtrs ... and even then ... still no game planing per se.

One thing that can be meaningful in preseason .... injures.
Actually, it's the third preseason game when the starters play the most. Everyone is deathly afraid of injuries in the fourth game so they play only the reserves. The logic is also to make final roster decisions with the scrubs. It is definitely the dumbest ticket purchase known to man.
