Can we stop calling every shot near the end of the game a "dagger"?

There's a post on the front page saying something like "Luka hits the dagger over Paul George". I go look at it and before the shot, the Mavericks were up 11 points with 1:30 left. That shot isn't a dagger, the Clippers had no chance at coming back.

It seems like every "dagger" clip on this sub is a shot where the game was already settled. A dagger is something like making a one possession game a two possession game with 20 seconds left.

TLDR: You don't shank a body in the morgue and then tell people you killed someone.

Is this the right sub for this?
