Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat are still figuring things out. Considering the early returns and their vaunted “Heat Culture,” that’s pretty scary for the rest of the East. Heading into a matchup with the Phoenix Suns Thursday night, it was impossible not to see the similarities between the pleasant surprise of Western Conference and
